man permissions



After installing 1.3, man failed to work for ordinary users:

 > man bash
 man: can't create a temporary filename: No such file or directory  

The permissions on /tmp were:
drwxr-xr-t   4 root     root         1024 Jun 25 16:47 tmp

so I changed them to:
drwxrwxrwt   2 root     root         1024 Jun 25 16:51 tmp

This fixes it anyway.  Is this okay?
